If you can strip a lens.. possible bargain.

Hi all,

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PENTAX-50mm-f1-7-LENS-FOR-PK-CAMERA-BODIES_W0QQitemZ140062...

Just seen this. £9 inc P&P. Just got to clean the fungus off of it. I know some of you can do that, so I thought I'd point it out.

Disclaimer: Nothing to do with me.. buyer beware an' all.

Cheers

Liam

IMHO that lens isnt worth the effort, A visit to any camera fair will often yield such lenses in mint condition from £10-£15, now had it been an A series lens then things may have been different.

I agree with Alan, it's not worth the effort unless you want to practice taking lenses apart. Not all fungus can be cleaned off anyway.

If it were a fast 50mm or an A series or above it might be worth it.
